Visitation and Inspection:
Five schools taught by two teachers each in periods proportionate to its population were opened in this district with an attendance of one hundred and fourteen, one half of whom were not beyond Standards I and II. Owing to the number of settlements in this Sound it is often a puzzle how to serve their people to the best advantage. The best is done that can be devised.
